À propos de cet audio

The New York Times best seller and a Reese’s Book Club pick.

He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?

Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story - their story - at the very beginning.

Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated - perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a 13-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but never out of each other's hearts.

This devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending, is Love Story for a new generation.

I felt the main character in this book, Lucy, was too entitled but at the same time the author presented an interesting premise on how some love can transcend time and circumstance despite all odds. It makes us pause to consider if it was one of us what we do(?)

A Different Love Story

Main character was selfish and shallow. Hard to fee sorry for her. Left without any attachment towards main characters. Performance was boring.

Meh - don't recommend

This book was recommended to me by someone I am now realizing doesn't know me very well. The author should have let someone else narrate it. It felt like I was listening to a high schooler read a creative writing project out loud in class. The dialogue felt unnatural and forced, the main character was shallow and I had a hard time feeling any empathy for her. I felt like the word "truly" was truly over used in this book. It could make a fun drinking game if you took a shot every time its used.

Annoying

I really struggled to find a love story in this book. The main character is selfish and completely unrelatable and had to force myself to finish it despite the annoyance I felt at every single decision she made.

Not a love story

How in the world people found this book to be entertaining, let alone - well reviewed, is beyond me.
Your protagonist is a love struck, self sympathizer, who complains in one sentence just how in love she is with a man, then without fail, tears down that love in the following sentence. This starts in the beginning and is the only consistent pattern until the end. I found this to not only be frustrating but just boring overall. The message doesn’t evolve or change and I felt the author played her cards in the beginning (which was the only interesting part of the book) and then tried to form a story around sympathy.

If you want a book you can vacuum to, this is it.

Whiny, Drawn-out, and Annoying
